Change Agency und Diversity Management

Change agency in organizational change literature has so far been
conceptualized as either an outcome of individual trait, skill and
personality or even completely lacking the individual. Drawing on
the theories of Butler and Bourdieu, we are moving beyond that
tradition. Judith Butler and late Pierre Bourdieu are two preeminent
scholars whose contributions to our understanding of human agency
have hardly been considered together. We believe in the merit of
transcending the disciplinary divide that separated works of these
two scholars, in order to arrive at a more comprehensive
understanding of change agency, thereby overcoming the reductionist
tendencies of the change agency literature.
